CHARLES H. BOECK, OF JACKSON, MICHIGAN.

BURNER FOR OlL-STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,567, dated December 9, 1890.

Application filed January 30, 1890. Serial No. 338,664. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. BOECK, of Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Burners of Oil-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of said invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in burners for oil-stoves; and it pertains more especially to the combination and arrangement of two cylindrical wick-tubes, one located within the other, the mechanism for simultaneously operating the wicks in both of said tubes by a single hand-wheel, the construction and arrangement of the deflectors located above the respective wick-tubes, and the brackets by which such deflectors are supported.

The construction of my invention is explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a longitudinal vertical section of the burner supported by the inclosing-walls ot' a heating-stove, the same being by slight modifications equally adapted to be used with a cooking-stove. Fig. 2 represents a top view of the burner with the deflectors removed. Fig. 3 is a detail showing the construction of the receptacle for the wickadjusting rods. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the device shown in Fig. 1, taken on a horizontal line just above the lower extremities of the wick-tubes, the parts being shown on a large scale for clearness of illustration.

Like parts are represented by like reference-letters throughout the several views.

A represents the inclosing-walls, by which my burner is supported when the same is used as aheating-stove. The burner, including the respective wick-tubes and attachments, is supported from the walls A through the encircling oil-reservoir B, which is rigidly affixed to the burner, and the supportingbrackets C, which are rigidly aflixed to the inclosing-wall A.

D is a combustion-chamber.

J and K are cylindrical wick-tubes-one located within the other.

L represents the wicks. The wicks L are each simultaneously adjusted and controlled by a single hand-wheel M, from which motion is communicated to the wicks L through the rod N, pinion O, toothed bar P, horizontal connecting-bar Q, and the wick-adjusting rods S S. The rods S extend upwardly along and on the inside of the inner walls T of the respective wick-tubes J and K. The inner walls T of the respective Wick-tubes are bent outward a slight distance, by which a narrow groove or receptacle U is formed in such wall for the reception of the respective rods S, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, in which grooves said rods are free to move upward and downward as may be required to adjust the wicks. Thin plates or partitions V V are placed inside the wick-tubes J and K in front of the grooves U U and are secured liquid-tight to the inner walls T T of the wick-tubes on both sides of the grooves U U and to the bottoms of the tubes, whereby the oil in the respective wicktubes is prevented from entering the grooves or rod-receptacles U, the grooves or rod-receptacles U being of course open at their bottoms, wherefly said rods are free to move upward and downward as required to adjust the wicks. The plates or partitions V extend upward slightly above the highest point of the oil in the oil-reservoir B, whereby it is impossible for the oil in seeking its level in the wick-tubes to reach a sufficient height to overflow said partitions V and escape through the rod-receptacles U. At a point slightly above the partition V the respective adj usting-rods S are bent outward above said partitions V, and are respectively attached at their ends to thin annular wick-controllin g slides 19 b, which slides bear firmly against the wicks and are free to move upward and downward with them in their respective wick -tubes. The

flame from the central wick-tube is deflected outwardly by the central deflector A, while 9 the flame from the exterior wick-tube is deflected outwardly by the annular deflector B. The deflector A is centrally supported from the body of the stove by the bracket 0' and rod D, while the deflector B is supported from the bracket 0' by the bracket E, both of said deflectors being supported independently of the burner or oil-reservoir, which parts may be readily removed from the stove without disturbing the deflectors.

F is an exterior annular deflector, by which the width of the exterior flame is limited to the space between it and the deflector B.

I is an oil-duct through which the reservoir B is filled with oil.

The wick-tubes J and K are supported in the annular opening of the reservoir B, and free from contact therewith, 'by the crossrods cand oil-ducts d, through which oil-ducts the oil is led from the inclosing-reservoir to the respective wick-tubes, as shown in Fig. 2

G is an annular wall surrounding the exterior wick-tube and at a slight distance therefrom, whereby an air-space H is provided between the wick-tubes and the oil-reservoir, which prevents to alarge extent the heat from the wick-tubes being transmitted to the oilreservoir.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isg 1. In an oil-stove, the combination of two annular wick-tubes J and K, located one Within the other, each Wick-tube being provided with a groove or rod-receptacle U for the reception of the wick-controlling rods S, rods S S, extending upward from the lower end of said grooves or rod-receptacles and connected at their upper ends with annular wick-controlling slides I) Z) within the respective wick tubes, annular wick controlling slides b b, horizontal connecting-bar Q, affixed to the lower ends of said wick-controlling rods S, and means for raising and lowering said connectingbar Q and the therewith-com nected wick-controlling rods and wicks, all substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In an oil-stove, the combination of two annular wick-tubes J and K, located one within the other, each being provided with a groove or rod-receptacle U for the reception of the wick-controlling rods S, rods S S, extending upward from the lower end of said grooves or rod-receptacles and connected at their upper ends with annular wick-controlling slides 19 12 within the respective wicktubes, annular wick-controlling slides b 1), horizontal connecting-rod Q, at'flxed to the lower end of said wick-controlling rods S, toothed bar P, affixed at its lower end to said connecting-bar Q, pinion O, meshing into the teeth of said bar P, rod N, and hand-wheel M, all substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In an oil-stove, the combination, with two concentric wick-tubes located at a distance apart, and an inclosing-wall on which the wick-tubes are supported, of a central diskdeflector A, an outer annular deflector F, supported on the inclosing-wall, an intermediate annular deflector B, between which deflector B and each deflector A and F there is an annular flue orflame-passage, and means consisting of a bracket 0, supported on a flange of the deflector F, and a bracket E and a rod D, connected removably to the bracket 0, to which the deflectors A and B are respectively attached, whereby the deflectors A and B are suspended above the wick-tubes, and the three deflectors so secured to each other are unitedly removable from above the wick-tubes, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES H. BOECK.
